Hi all, If all I have to do is to check for the liveliness of a website, why can't I go with HTTPUnit instead of Nagios (or) any of its plugins.

I have played with it. Good to generate http/https request and calculate response time and verify some words in reponse request.

Looking at the source of the page, the sign-in form has the following pertinent fields -- <input type="text" name="email" maxlength="100" value="" style="width: 120px" class="textfield"> <input type="password" name="password" maxlength="64" value="" style="width:120px" class="textfield"> The field names that would be passed as the POST are 'email' and 'password'. Now, I don't know what command{} definitions you have for check_http or how they're configured so I'll show you how to create a new one very specific to this test -- define command { command_name check_flowers_login command_line $USER1$/check_http -I $HOSTADDRESS$ -H ww12.1800flowers.com -u /signin.do -P "[email protected]&password=podhum" } Set that as the check_command for a service associated with the host and nagios will verify that the web server does not return an HTTP error after login. Note that if your server returns a standard 200 response indicating OK even if there is a login error (most likely), you'll want to identify a word or string of text that should appear in the page after successful login, but not for a failure, and look for that with the -s parameter -- define command { command_name check_flowers_login command_line $USER1$/check_http -I $HOSTADDRESS$ -H ww12.1800flowers.com -u /signin.do -P "[email protected]&password=podhum" -s "you are logged in" } > Though this looks like a lot of hand holding, I have no other go.
